Just wondering if it would be a waste of time doing some motor work on an automatic 01 civic ex sedan i personally dont think so but looking for some advice on where to start

Boost or swap , check my signature. Bolt ons are pretty much not worth it

 

1. figure out whether or not you want to do a manual conversion.

2. figure out your options for a swap and suspension. Omnipower is making some full coilover kits for the 2001+ civic ex which are a happy medium that alot of people like because of how stiff they are. these should be for sale within the next month or so (i havent checked lately).

the auto to manual conversion has been done several times on that em3 body style. when the k series engine first came out hasport immediately swapped a k20a2 into a 2001 4 door ex. your car has good potential though it is heavier being 4 door and ex trim. they have proven to be fast cars with the right touch

 

k-series swap is what you should save for even if it's for the si motor
